What is DFN5B-CLIP-ViT-H-14-378?
DFN5B-CLIP-ViT-H-14-378 is an advanced CLIP model developed by Apple that leverages Data Filtering Networks (DFNs) to train on carefully curated image-text pairs. The model was trained on 5 billion images selected from a massive pool of 43 billion uncurated pairs, using innovative filtering techniques to ensure quality.
Implementation Details
The model implements a Vision Transformer (ViT) architecture with a hierarchical design, converted from JAX to PyTorch for wider accessibility. It processes images at 384x384 resolution and features both image and text encoding capabilities compatible with the OpenCLIP framework.
- Trained on 39B samples at 224x224 resolution + 5B at 384x384 resolution
- Achieves 84.2% accuracy on ImageNet-1K
- Implements contrastive learning for zero-shot classification
